civil union 65-55

The second reading survives - the last vite was 66-50. ACT's vote split 50/50, NZ First MPs Brian Donnelly and Ron Mark voted for the bill, as did Nationals Katherine Rich, Pansy Wong and Clem Simich.

Labour MPs who voted against were JT, Clayton Cosgrove , Harry Duynhoven, Taito Philip Field, Damian O'Connor and Ross Robertson.

Paul Swain changed his vote and voted for the bill, Don Brash and Tariana Turia did likewise and voted against.

I think Mark and Donnelly will vote against the bill for the third reading, as may Pansy Wong. In any case I`m predicting the bill to pass by three votes. Lockwood Smith against. Winnie Laban, Paul Swain and and Ashraf Choudhary have given in to bullying by Maharey, Carter and Cullen and voted against their consciences.

Heres the vote:
